La creación del foro APEC en 1989 ocurrió por casualidad. A principios de ese año los ministerios de relaciones exteriores de Australia y la República de Corea (Corea del Sur) convinieron en hacer un llamado a los países de Asia-Pacífico a fin de buscar cómo hacer avanzar la cooperación regional entre ellos. Quedaban fuera los Estados Unidos y su socio comercial, Canadá, por lo que pronto el gobierno estadounidense hizo el cabildeo necesario para incluir esos dos países en ese proyecto australiano coreano, con lo cual se configuró un área de la Cuenca del Pacífico compuesta por 10 economías de la ribera occidental y dos de la oriental de tal cuenca. En noviembre de 1989, los ministros de relaciones exteriores y de comercio exterior o sus equivalentes de esos 12 países participaron en una conferencia de dos días efectuada en Canberra. Este cónclave, presidido por el canciller australiano Gareth Evans, terminó con el compromiso de efectuar reuniones ministeriales anuales para debatir sobre los problemas del proteccionismo en las corrientes mundiales de mercancías y flujos financieros a fin de hallar soluciones consensuadas y eficaces; los gobiernos de Singapur y Corea se ofrecieron como sedes para encuentros en los dos años subsiguientes.

This chapter addresses the evolution of the responsibility to protect concept from September 1999 to its adoption in the World Summit Outcome Document of September 2005. It covers Kofi Annan’s ‘dilemma of intervention’, some early human security initiatives by Canada including the International Commission on Intervention and State Sovereignty (ICISS) and its report The Responsibility to Protect which first articulated the moniker as well as the concept, the High-Level Panel on Threats, Challenges and Change and the Secretary-General’s report In Larger Freedom, the negotiations and Outcome Document of the World Summit, and the early incorporation of protection of civilians within Security Council resolutions. Throughout this narrative, the importance of sustained advocacy by key individuals—including Kofi Annan, Lloyd Axworthy, and Gareth Evans among others—is presented as vital to the evolution (in theory and in practice) of the responsibility to protect.

Governments have been increasingly preoccupied with the task of reconciling claims to preferential treatment with the principle of equality. The social and philosophical issues raised by this apparent paradox are considered, and the compatibility of benign discrimination with the concept of equality demonstrated by developing a complex normative notion of equality. An analysis is then undertaken of the various attempts made by lawyers, in nearly one hundred existing bills of rights, to give formal expression to these principles. Ultimately the problem of benign discrimination falls for resolution by the courts, and the jurisprudence developed in this respect by the Supreme Courts of Canada and the United States is critically discussed and compared. Having exhaustively developed an appreciation of world experience regarding the interaction of bills of rights equality clauses and benign discrimination, consideration is given to the formulation of the Australian Human Rights Bill—a bill of which Gareth Evans was one of the principal draftsmen.
